JACOB L. GOOD, OF ELIZABETHTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA. Leners Patent No. 87,660, am@ .Ma/rc1 e, 1869.

rMPnovEMENT IN cmmNs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe'name.

To all whom t't may conce/rn Be it known that I, JACOB L. GOOD, of Elizabethtown, in the county of Lancaster, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new ,and valuable Improvement in Ghurns; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, and to `the letters and guresV of refer.

ence marked thereon. l

Figure 1, of the d rawings, is asectional view of my churn, from side to side, and

It consists inproviding two dashers, in the form of l right-angled triangles, so arranged that the hypothenuse sides thereof are always turned` toward vthe fluid, while the perpendicular sides are turned in the oppo- 4site direction, the fluid passing alternately from one hypothenuse to the other.

It also 'consists `in providing new and etcient means .for gathering the butter, and for removing the lid and gearing, .forcleansing-purposes.

1 The letter A, of the drawings, represents the tub, or box of my churn, usually of a square form, as shown, but the shape is not material. A

The letter B is the lid,V and The letter C is an upright standard,.to which the dashers are attached.

The letters E are the dashers. They are usually formed of one piece of wood, so fashioned that they .shall form, on each side of the standard @right-angled triangles, extending from the standard to points near the sides of the tub.V On'one side of the standard, the dasher has its perpendicular side turned to the right, while, onthe opposite side of `the standard, the

I hypothenuse side of the dasher is turned to the-right.

On one side, also, theh'ypothenuse is formed on the upper side of the dasher, while on the other it is formed ,on the lower side thereof.

By -this arrangement, when the dashers are in motion, the fluid is forced to pass' over one dasher, and under the' other, inregular succession, the edge of the dasher, formed by the base and hypothenuse, being always moved forward through the fluid.

The standard O is an upright rotating shaft, having `a bearing in the bottom of the tub, constructed and operating in the usual manner.

It will be observed, that in the construction and adjustment of the dashers on said standard, one of said dashers occupies a lower point thereon than the other. This is eected by cutting off from thev top and bottom thereof, respectively, above and below each hypothenuse side, as shown on iig. 1 of the drawings.

The letter F, of the drawings, is a board, adjusted in appropriate grooves in the inside of the box,and extending downward to a point near the top ofthe dashers. v

f On the side of this board, and at right angles therewith, at the point shown, I adjust a gathering-board, markeds.

The board F is removable, and it serves, when in use, not only as a base for aixing the gatherer s, but also as a dash-board for the uid, and an auxiliary in lcollecting the butter.

The lid of my churn isconstructed in two parts,

,which are severally adjusted in grooves, cut in the in` ner sides' of the side-pieces of the box, the piece of the lid on the front side being removable without disturbing the piece in the rear. I attach a hook to the Y rear side of the churn, to fall over a flan ge on the upper side of the rear section of the churn-lid, to hold the same firmly in place.

The entire gearing of the churn,except abevelled pinion on the top o f shaft O, is adjusted upon the rear section of the churn-lid, and is removable therewith, at will.

This arrangement of the gearing enables the operator to remove the same, for cleansing, or other purposes, with great ease, and is believed to be an improvement upon any similar` device heretofore known or used.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. Ihe gathering-board s, constructed and operating substantially as and for the purposes mentioned.

2. A churn, having dashers E, standard C, dashboard F, gatherer s, and sectional lid, with removable gearing, as described, constructed,'arranged, and ops erating substantially as herein specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto l subscribed my name, in the presence of two Witnesses.

Witnesses: JACOB' L. GOOD.
